The normally bustling Rehov Bar- Lev in south Tel Aviv was eerily quiet on
Sunday morning, shortly after a truck driver plowed through cars and rammed a
bus on the main street in this working class neighborhood.

The silence
was broken by the sounds of broken glass crunching under shoes, as policemen
analyzed the 20-ton truck that came to a stop outside of a school and cameramen
snapped shots of the scene.
